Re: Programatically Determining Parm Info

Any luck?  Also, this should also work for those who've abandoned *ENTRY
and use a Procedure Interface spec instead.

Does anyone know if there is a way to identify the *ENTRY parms in an RPG
program, using an API or some other method?

I know that DSPPGM and the QCLRPGMI (Retrieve Program Information) API will
return the number of parms, but I'm looking for a way, if possible, of
returning the actual parameter characteristics. For example, if the program
has 3 Entry parms, and they are defined as:

Parm1 -  3A
Parm2 -  2, 2  Packed
Parm3 -  15A

I want to be able to retrieve the 3A 2,2 and15A characteristics.
